After incorrectly claiming that the Keralite journalist Abu Thahir was a member of ISIS (The Islamic State of Iraq and Al-Sham as the Islamic State was formerly known), the journalist has put to rest specualtion by denouncing ISIS as "Khawarijis" in an Facebook post.

Thahir, who worked with Malayalam-language channel Janam TV (People TV) in Qatar, also stated his belief in the transliterated Malayalam post that ISIS kills Muslims unlawfully and that they practised Takfir (to declare a Muslim a kuffar).
